===Pacific===
The '''Pacific War''' took place in the [[Pacific Ocean]], its islands, and in [[East Asia]], between 1937, and 1945.  The most decisive actions took place after the [[Empire of Japan]] attacked various countries, known as the Allies, in December, 1941, including an attack on United States forces at [[Pearl Harbor]].
===Participants===
The major Allied participants were the United States and China. The British Commonwealth, including Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and India, and the Netherlands played significant roles. Mexico, DeGaulle's Free French Forces and many other countries also took part, especially forces from other British colonies. The Soviet Union fought two short, undeclared border conflicts with Japan in 1938 and 1939, then remained neutral until August 1945, when it joined the Allies and invaded [[Manchukuo]] and Korea.
The Axis states which assisted Japan included the Japanese puppet states of [[Manchukuo]] and the [[Wang Jingwei Government]] (which controlled most of the population of China). [[Thailand]] joined the Axis powers under duress. Japan enlisted many soldiers from its colonies of Korea and Formosa (now called [[Taiwan]]). Some German submarines operated in the Indian Ocean.
